USC's admission difficulty is considered "very hard". The acceptance rate is 24% (low) Average ACT is 29-32. Average SAT is 1910-2180.
86% of applicants are in the top 10% of their high school class. Check out this website for more info: http://collegeprowler.com/university-of-... With all that being said, you need to raise your gpa. 86% of applicants are in the top 10% of their high school class, so you need to try to make it into the top 10% of your high school class.
Also, you need to actually take the SAT (or ACT). A lot of times the predicted scores are wayyy off. If you can actually get the predicted SAT score of 2100, that will put you around average for USC.
Also, while you may plan on getting 5's on all your AP tests, you actually need to GET 5's on your AP tests. While grades and SAT scores are a very important part of the college application, there is much more to it. You need to have a TON of volunteer work, lots of extracurriculars, and show a lot of leadership positions.
Best of luck :).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
